Hey JC.
From some of the post I am reading by those on the Right it seems to me That "Conservatism is next to Godliness". and "Liberalism is the Devils Handmaiden"
Last time I looked I AIN'T NO MAIDEN.

PS: Of course you realize that back in the 50's and 60's we had God living in Canada. His name was John Diefenbaker.

Camac, Your bad! Speaking of observations, (being glad that you maid that observation about your main hood, instead of me) does anyone know who won the democratic primary in New Mexico, (as it was to close to call when the poles closed), and I still have yet to hear who won? Given that, and the fact that Bill Clinton “himself”, spent the evening with Bill Richardson, (the x candidate, and Governor of New Mexico) watching the Super Bowl. It makes me wonder if Bill Clinton wasn’t offering Bill Richardson the VP spot, if he could “some how” swing the election in Hillarie’s direction? So does anybody know, if Hilary or Obama won the primary in New Mexico, or should I just keep wondering?

It looks like the Democrat selection of candidate will go right down to the wire. Methinks Obama just might take it. This is very interesting as I personally thought that the U.S. would elect a woman before an Afro-American. "The times they are a changing" and it is long overdue. Hopefully the U.S. can put all the racial B.S. behind them.

| QUOTE (oldraven @ 14-Feb-2008, 01:57 PM) | Stoirmeil, just spend some time talking to Quebecers and you'll see how far we have to go to rid ourselves of racists here in Canada. The same goes for most Ukrainian Canadians I've met as well.
Wow, all that kind of makes me look like a bigot too. |
Well -- I can let you off the hook a little, I guess. I'm middle aged, and I come straight from the purest "Canuck" stock, even though I was born in the States. I remember plenty of conversations around my elders and kin, and yes, they were pretty critical and spoke in derogatory manner of other ethnicities. They were good people and solid citizens, but they had their opinions and they were very up front about voicing them. I guess I just jumped a little salty.

oldraven;
My ex is Quebecois and her attitude towards immigrants still shocks me and she married one.

In fact the election of one person has a better chance of creating new problems or exacerbating existing ones.
--------------------
The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, 1859
Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge.
~Mark Twain

There is no question and no topic, just a retort.
